X is the eighth studio album by American country music artist Trace Adkins. The album's name is the Roman numeral for ten, as counting his two Greatest Hits packages it is his tenth album overall. X was released November 25, 2008, on Capitol Records Nashville. The album includes the singles "Muddy Water", "Marry for Money", and "All I Ask For Anymore", all of which have charted in the Top 40 on Hot Country Songs, with the latter two becoming Top 20 hits.
After Adkins performed a moving version of "'Til the Last Shot's Fired" with The West Point Cadet Glee Club live at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2009, the song received unsolicited airplay which brought it to No. 50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart while "Marry for Money" was charting. It also peaked at No. 5 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.
Although considered one of the highlights of the album by critics and fans, "I Can't Outrun You" was not released as a single, although it received a music video treatment. It was later covered by Thompson Square on their 2013 album Just Feels Good, whose version was released to country radio on June 23, 2014, and reached a peak of number 52 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. It was also covered by the country acapella band Home Free in 2017 with a video.
